Shock horror. How old's the house?
it is around 30 yrs old,we want to improve a seating area for summer use
It's said there are 2 types of render, the one that has failed, and the one that's about to. A bit of an exaggeration in newer houses perhaps but, unless it's to remedy damp, I wouldn't go looking for trouble.
